Tubular
意味: Awesome or excellent — originally describing a perfectly hollow, tube-shaped wave.
Tubular started as a surf term for a wave that forms a hollow tube shape — the kind surfers dream of riding through. It crossed over into 1980s slang meaning 'awesome' or 'radical,' becoming closely associated with Valley Girl and surfer dude stereotypes. Today it's used nostalgically or humorously, evoking 1980s California culture.
